>> reporter: the governor is keenly aware the state's roads and bridges are in need of repair, that is why he says he needs to raise taxes on gasoline. >> given the revenues generated from this type of tax, i can hear the families now saying i can't afford this. >> i believe it is irresponsible to do nothing. i believe that inaction has a cost, and so this is the conversation that we will have. >> the other tax issue that a lot of people are concerned about was the tax on people who make 100,000 dollars a year. you have already been criticized by republicans about it, the housing industry and the comptroller. how do you respond to them? >> there will be no shortage of criticism and better ideas are always welcome. those additional revenues will allow us to protect the investments all of us have made in public education, investments along with the hard work of teachers and dplips tray tores which had lead to us having been recognized as the best schools in america four years in a row. >> one of the many concerns

that people have had with their leaders sometimes they are out of touch with their comob man. a couple of questions i want to ask you the average person is concerned with every day. do you have any idea the average cost of a gallon of gasoline and milk and others. the governor has positioned himself as a family man. >> the call of your question is are you out of touch with how real people live and what we all have to face when we go to the grocery or to buy gasoline. i am not out of touch. i know that these are not things that any of us want to do but the better future that we seek for our children is not something that happens by itself and you know i wish there were a way that -- that

we do all of these things without asking anyone to do more. but at the same time, i believe people are willing to do a little bit more, if it is fair. >> vic carter, wjz eyewitness news. >> the governor has a long list of goals for his final two years in office and he has just a few hours to refine his state of the state address. the speech outlines his plan for maryland and how much it will cost and who should pay for it. next up this morning right here on wjz -- >> reporter: good morning, i am meghan mccorkell, a teenaged driver killed with three others after she drives the wrong way down a highway. new insight into what may have caused that crash. >> good morning. lost audiotapes, nearly 50 years old, of the events immediately after president john f. kennedy is assassinated. i am kentucky jackson, you will hear the haunting words coming up. >> reporter: good morning,

lane causing a jam. watch for another accident in the city. there is your average speeds on the beltway. minor delays on the top side, 37 miles per hour on the west side. near there is 95, everything running smoothly there. this traffic report is brought to you by your toyota dealer. back over to you. >> all right. for my money james brown and chris burrman are the two best national sportscasters in america right now. >> all right. >> this morning's coffee with is with them, furnished by the

verizon foundation. ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome -- [ applause ] >> there is james brown and there is everybody else. >> my daughter always teases me, saying i am too dark to blush but i am blushing with that. introduce my partner. >> how are you doing, bud? >> i am doing fine. thank you to talking with us. >> we have the website, a man can, this is a pretty big deal, putting app end to domestic violence, take it away guys. >> first of all i am glad there are four men having this conversation because that is the target but i will defer to him first. >> we are involved to bring it out of the shadows. the fact of the matter is when we talk about domestic violence being epidemic, that is not language over the top, it is epidemic, just this week there will behinds of women negatively impacted by domestic violence and i don't think we

can afford to sit by and let this happen so, what we are saying to men is this is not just a woman's problem, society's problem, it is our problem and we are looking for everybody to step up and help out in whatever small manner they can to eradicate this problem. >> the number one health risk to women and 85% of the perpetrators are men so we are trying to help each other by raising the level of awareness and also talking more importantly about ways that we can positively impact this. >> okay, let me ask you this, obviously it is a tremendous initiative by verizon, i am going to throw some props out to those folks who i have my entire account bundled with. thought i would give you that one, too. but how much -- what kind of money are you guys throwing at this? >> i think -- i don't know the precise figures of what we are

throwing behind but the verizon corporation has been involved for over 10 years and it is a considerable amount of money but more than that we do that so this is not just a drive by campaign, we have been involved in this for 10 years and we really want to see this problem start to be eradicated. all you have to do is go to one domestic violence center and hear the stories. >> i did just that, i went to the domestic violence hot line in austin texas, and also the teen, teenage help line there in austin texas and heard some of the women calling in there for help and how they dealt with them and look i am not ashamed to say it brought me to tears when i listened and felt

the pain that these women were experiencing and dealing with on an ongoing basis we just cannot allow this and as men we need to make sure we need to do our jobs not only because we don't want it to see it happening to our families but to understand what a healthy manhood is all about. >> i am curious as a man who is not a perpetrator what can a man do? >> a man can do a lot of things. we engage in off the cuff conversation that diminish the value of women and we can stop those and i know that is kind of in our dna but that is not an excuse. the next thing is we all have interactions with young men and we have to pull them up short when they are talking in a way that has an environment or creates an environment that allows domestic violence to

take place so we and be engaged in different ways. >> if i can add quickly, to the degree we can mobilize the support from some of these marquis athletes that would also be helpful. i think about chris jenkins and how he talked about everything was attack oriented and dominating and then when he had to go home with his kids he found it difficult to flip that switch so he wants to learn how to do that. there is no question we need to be involved, because to be silent is to agree with the behavior. so if you have a conversation and hear you buddy or see your buddy doing something that is not right, they will listen to us if you say hey i got a problem with that.

>> here is the website. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,n returns
